We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
*** SOLD PRIOR TO MARKETING *** A substantial and characterful detached family home enjoying a generous plot, extensive gardens and a highly convenient position close to the coast.
Offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, this individual property provides an excellent opportunity for those seeking a sizeable home with plenty of scope to modernise and make their own.
The property is approached via a large driveway providing extensive off-road parking, leading to the impressive frontage and attached double garage.
The attractive red brick elevations, tiled roof and traditional detailing give the house considerable character, whilst the covered entrance porch with its distinctive columns creates an appealing first impression.
Internally, the accommodation is spacious and full of original character.
The generous sitting room provides an impressive reception space, featuring attractive decorative cornicing, a fireplace and large windows allowing plenty of natural light.
The room offers excellent proportions for both everyday family living and entertaining.
The bedroom accommodation is equally well proportioned, with the principal bedroom enjoying a particularly generous footprint and views across the surrounding grounds.
There is also a range of useful built-in storage, whilst the property retains many of its original features and a sense of traditional charm throughout.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a particularly practical space, fitted with a comprehensive range of matching wall and base units, extensive work surfaces and ample room for a dining table.
A further area beyond provides additional kitchen/storage space and access to the outside. One of the property's most appealing features is undoubtedly the extensive surrounding gardens.
Predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature trees, shrubs and established planting, the gardens offer a wonderful sense of space and privacy.
There are several areas that could be developed into formal seating, entertaining or recreational spaces, while the established planting provides an attractive backdrop.
The grounds also feature a greenhouse/conservatory-style garden building, together with a substantial timber pergola and established planting beds, making the property particularly appealing to keen gardeners.
The gardens are mature and established rather than overly manicured, offering plenty of potential for a new owner to landscape and personalise them.
The combination of the large plot, extensive parking, double garage, generous gardens and substantial accommodation makes this a rare opportunity.
The property would now benefit from some updating and modernisation, but offers tremendous scope for creating a superb family home whilst retaining its existing character and charm.
A particularly noteworthy feature of the setting is the striking lighthouse visible from the property and gardens, adding to the individuality of this home and reflecting its desirable coastal surroundings.
In summary, this is a substantial and individual home offering generous accommodation, excellent parking, a double garage and extensive mature gardens, all within an appealing coastal setting.
An ideal opportunity for buyers looking for a property with space, character and considerable potential for improvement.
